Hi well Doug here is the final word on this from gw micro support I don't think it will help you much. Also checked auto hotkey and it does in fact allow me to use the windows key on windows 7 rc1 with no problem so quite frankly I don't get it.

All I know is that the Windows key can still be used in conjunction with Window-Eyes hotkeys. Whether or not Skype decides to use them is up to them. It really doesn't matter what Microsoft does. The Windows key is a key on the keyboard, and can be used by whatever applications wants to use it.
